Today is the 20th anniversary of starting my veterinary career at Sunrise Equine! It seems appropriate that I would spend it being on call for the holiday weekend. 😂
If any of you have pictures of me vetting your horse, pony, donkey, or mule over the years, I would love to see them!

Did you know we offer Arthramid® as an option for joint therapy? This product works differently than some of the other injectable products we use. Learn more about how Arthramid® can help support joint health and long-term mobility—especially for horses with mild to moderate arthritis. 👇

You hear the term ‘arthritis’ a lot, but what about what comes before?

Synovitis is the inflammation of the joint lining that hides beneath the surface and is one of the key contributors to arthritis if left unmanaged.

Arthramid’s 2.5% iPAAG, integrates into the synovial membrane stabilizing the joint capsule and increasing elasticity, which in turn reduces the onset of synovitis and its harmful effects. The improved function of the synovium further improves the nature of the synovial fluid within the joint itself, ultimately restoring the joint to healthy function (homeostasis).

The best outcomes start with early management. Protect your horse’s future with Arthramid®.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT CAUSES GRASS FOUNDER?

Spring is a wonderful time of the year, but it may be the beginning of some serious problems for horses vulnerable to grass founder — like horses that are over the age of 10, easy keepers, overweight or cresty-necked.

Laminitis or founder, as it is commonly called, is inflammation of the laminae of the horse’s foot. Laminae are the delicate, accordion-like tissues that attach the inner surface of the hoof wall to the coffin bone (the bone in the foot). A horse suffering from laminitis experiences a decrease in blood flow to the laminae, which in turn begin to die and separate. The final result is hoof wall separation, rotation of the coffin bone and extreme pain. In severe cases, the coffin bone will actually rotate through the sole of the horse’s hoof where it becomes infected and can ultimately lead to the horse having to be euthanized.

Laminitis can be triggered by different causes, like repeated concussion on hard ground (road founder), grain overload, retained placenta, hormonal imbalance (Cushing’s syndrome), obesity, and lush grass.

In cases of grass founder, the sugar fructans produced by rapidly growing grass stimulates an overgrowth of bacteria in the horse’s large intestine. The bacteria produce and release toxins (endotoxins) that are carried by the bloodstream to the foot where they cause damage to the laminae and small blood vessels.

The best way to deal with laminitis is preventing and managing the causes under your control. Consult your equine practitioner for further information and to formulate a plan tailored to your horse's individual situation. If you suspect laminitis, consider it a medical emergency and notify your veterinarian immediately.

💉🐴 Ultrasound-Guided Orthopedic Injections for Horses

We’re proud to offer ultrasound-guided injections as part of our lameness and sports medicine services. Using the ultrasound allows us to precisely target structures that can be difficult—or even impossible—to accurately treat with a traditional blind approaches.

✨ Common areas we treat include:
• Neck and back (cervical and thoracolumbar facets)
• Sacroiliac (SI) and Lumbosacral region
• Upper limb joints such as the shoulder, hip, stifle, and elbow
• Tendons and ligaments following injury

Using ultrasound guidance means we can see exactly where the needle is going in real time, improving accuracy, safety, and overall effectiveness of treatment.

Whether your horse is dealing with performance issues or recovering from an injury, ultrasound guidance helps us deliver targeted care with confidence.
